11 of the best sustainable clothing shops in London

The birthplace of iconic fashion stores like Harrods and Selfridges, there is no doubt that London has always been a fashion destination. While for many of us, finding sustainable fashion may lead to an online search, sustainable clothing shops in London are a little more available.

From high-end stores that feature only the most daring quality fashion to those hosting the eco-friendly everyday basics we all need in our lives; Londoners are blessed with a myriad of sustainable fashion brands on their doorstep.

A fashion capital embracing sustainabilty

A fashion capital, some true fashion giants have come to call London home. Industry names including Burberry and Alexander McQueen have their headquarters in London and every year the city plays host to the iconic London Fashion Week.

When it comes to sustainable clothing, London is also starting to make waves. The 2020 London Fashion Week saw a new spotlight put on fashion’s eco-impact.

Commentary regarding fashion’s environmental toll took centre stage at a number of Fashion Week shows.  In subsequent years, fashion houses making more environmental design and production choices have formed a core part of London Fashion Week.

Sustainability is steadily but surely becoming a vital part of London’s overall fashion scene.
